Well on Christmas Eve eve (also known as December 23) we learned the hard way that Campbell has a shellfish allergy or at least that is our guess. Austin picked us up takeout from Tokyo grill and Campbell proceeded to eat one of my shrimp. About fours hours later she was awake vomiting and broken out in hives. I absolutely hate seeing my baby sick but realize her reaction could have been much more severe. It hit me after the fact that we had gone down to charleston back in may that Campbell became ill after eating calamari. Now I realize that calamari is not but its one of the foods to avoid if you have a shellfish allergy. I also presume that the calamari was cooked the same place at the shrimp etc.
This past Sunday we had planned to eat dinner with our wonderful neighbors and friends. Well after Campbell woke up from her nap I noticed she felt warm. Well I checked her temperature and it was 101.6 my first thought was oh no not the flu epidemic. She ran a fever the rest of Sunday into Monday so to the pediatrician we went. She was diagnosed with an acute sinus infection not so bad or so I thought. Said sinus infection has caused vomiting more vomiting and an obscene amount of dirty dirty diapers. Campbell has barely been able to keep down any foods or liquids. I am hopeful she is on the mend after covering me in vomit and poop this morning I have definitely earned my badge into mommy hood. Austin and Mama have been so helpful and I am very thankful Austin wasn't traveling this week for work. Hopefully this drainage has seized so that our sweet baby can get some rest.
At least I am getting in a ton of snuggle time with our sweet girl. I love for her to say I want mommy but I want her to be back to her old self.
